De vrakrester som plockades upp i går härstammar inte från det försvunna Air France-flygplanet. Inte heller den stora oljefläcken kommer från planet. Däremot finns andra fläckar av drivmedel som man antar kommer från farkosten.
Därmed blir de teorier som hittills lanserats mindre underbyggda. Klart är emellertid att 12 olika felmeddelanden utgick från planet innan det försvann. Något mayday sändes däremot aldrig.

Det er fristende å tro på en kapring av flyet + bombe....
Fra tidlig post-war lufttrafikk gjennom ekvator:
Flying regularly North and South across the equator always meant flying through the inter-tropical front. This front is an area of very unstable weather that lies parallel to the equator. To the North of the equator during the Northern latitude summer and to the South of it for the other six months. It took the form of massive thunder clouds that built up during the day, rising up to 25,000 feet and more which made it quite impossible for us to climb over the tops. We had to try and cross early in the morning and it was a matter of luck as to whether we flew through the calmer parts of the cloud formation or whether we ran into violent vertical air currents.
These flying conditions may not have been comparable to the hazards of flying on wartime operations over Germany but nevertheless it could be very stressful at times and flying headlong into a wall of threatening cloud did cause the adrenaline to flow.
Returning from the Phillipines to Peleliu on one occasion we encountered very severe turbulence in a thunder cloud and the rate of vertical rise and fall caused such flexing of the wings that we were forced to descend close to the surface of the sea, where we had to remain for several hundred miles. At this height we were unable to maintain radio contact and if we had ditched into the sea we would have most likely disappeared without trace.
